Aston Villa (A) Post-Match Thread

Merci.

@Barcon I can now disclose... that I wore the anniversary shirt. ;-)
Me too. I was edgy and nervous as I anticipated the game coming on so I slammed a pizza and wedges in the oven and then I remembered me shirt. Hardly been out the drawer it hasn't... Anyway, I'm guessing there is a superstitious element to your post? Mine is if I don't get my shirt on in time, we'll lose... And I only just popped my head through the neck as the whistle blew!
 
Errrr, the foul on Mendy before Wolves' equaliser? Shit play from Mendy but still a blatant foul.

Nope home game but Mendy did hold his hands up for the 'mistake', Ederson got red carded (no problems with that) and VAR gave us an ultra rare decision in our favour (although it was completely bat shit)

It is something @Barcon and I have been trying to fix, actually.

Until recently we hadn’t won a single match when we had been wearing the anniversary shirt. So I’ve been slowly rehabilitating it by wearing it when we played Oxford and Port Vale, and now Aston Villa. I was going to wear it for the League Cup derby but I couldn’t bring myself to tempt fate like that. I will probably give it an additional test on Saturday.

I'll guarantee we lose if I wear this thing again. I could chance washing it but I don't know.
 
It was not a penalty, and of course VAR was not going to overrule the referee.
As far as I could see Gundo's foot did not step on the Villa diver, and he didn't trip him up either as far as I could tell. You could see he was looking for the opportunity to dive before then.
Really dislike this lack of sportsmanship and it is putting me off the game.
The officials are pathetic in that they don't seem to know when players dive or what is an actual foul these days.


Have to agree, never a pen, also noticed that the ref decided to feel pity for poor Villa and only add 1 min at the end of the second half, considering there were 6 subs and 2 goals, should have been at least 4 min, when were ref's told to reduce added time when a teams getting stuffed?

btw, Grealish is a bigger tosser than original thought!
 
Today was just brilliant all round. Atmosphere was class in our away end and they’re was just too many positives from the game to pick out individual stuff. A rare week off between games now, should be fresh and ready to go for palace. Hopefully Laporte will be back in the match day squad.

I’ve worn it once - Liverpool away game. It also got a pull in the wash after that game.

Not worn it since
 
I seem to remember he ended up in a heap in the back of the net having failed, it was low point the goal, but his somewhat pointless effort made me laugh.
Can't find the footage anywhere but you are definitely right!

Atleast I remember they had no attempt at target, and I think we had a couple off the woodwork that game too
